When you think of seafood, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. 1
In Nilka county in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout(虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belong to the same family as salmon(鲑鱼), which are a kind of well - known seafood. It tastes like salmon, too.
2 The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater from the Tian Shan Mountains. Water is deeper than 6 meters and always stays from 12℃ to 21℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish. Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily. To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. 3 The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.
Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimps(南美白对虾) grow well. Saline soil(盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water. 4 Then whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea.
Since a lot of efforts have been put in to help us have safe seafood, we don’t need to worry about not having seafood to eat any more.
A. Why do farmers there choose to raise fish?
B. It also uses net cages that are good for the environment.
